Default What to do ???

I am only 5'6" with 29" inseam and was in a wreck few years back and my right leg is now 1"shorter than the left. My Lowrider I just got has forwards and reaching the peg on the brake side is hard while cruising . I have found three thing I can do but don't know which way to go. 1st reduced reach kit for the forwards $150 2nd heal rest from DK for $79 and 3rd some 4" x 8" floorboards that mount into the male clevis. Any opinions from you guys that might have used any of the above. Thanks Clap

Smile short leg

I tried a floor board on the male clevis and it was terrible. To much movement.
Would suggest reduced reach and air foil heal rest..

You could try these.
They move the forward controls 1-3/8″ back and 1″ up.

Might not be a 100% fix, but they make special shoes for your situation, to even your length difference. Probably wouldn't work for a shifter side, due to shoe thickness. Your issue is on brake side so shoe sole thickness wouldn't be an issue. Worth a look...maybe...??

Default Foot Boards

I am the same height and inseam as you, and the absolute best thing I have done is put the Dyna Switchback footboards on my 2002 Superglide. I could not possibly be happier. My feet are planted, solid, and comfortable on the boards. Just a thought for you.
